In this passage God issues a call to His people to give to the work of the Lord in the building of the tabernacle. By looking at the call and the response by God's people Brother Tracey looks at basic giving principles that we should apply as New Testament believers.

After spending 40 more days and nights in Mt. Sinai with God, Moses now descends to deliver God's covenant He had renewed with His people. However, unbeknownst to him, his face was shining forth with the glory of God because he had been with Him. In this sermon Brother Tracey examines the glorious truths we can learn just by looking intently at Moses' face in the text.

In renewing His covenant with His people after their great sin of idolatry and the golden calf, Gof gives His people a list of the laws and regulations that seem random at first glance. However, after further examination, this list proves to be anything but random, as it contains laws that will help keep Israel in covenant love with Him if they follow these laws. As Brother Tracey examines these laws he looks at several elements of worship contained in them, and if we practice these, this will also help us as His people stay in love with our God.

After the great sin of the golden calf, God forgives His people and renews His covenant with them. in this passage Brother Tracey looks at the aspects of this covenant renewed and how these aspects are the same for the New Covenant that we as Christians live under.

In response to Moses' request to see God's glory, God reveals Himself to him by passing by him on the mountain. In this revelation of God we learn it is not about what Moses saw but what he heard. God reveals Himself to Moses by proclaiming his glorious attributes. In this sermon Brother Tracey looks at the revelation of God by looking at the many characteristics of God seen and heard in the text.

Throughout the book of Exodus, Moses gives us many glimpses of Christ as he serves as one of the Christ types in Scripture. In this passage in which Moses continues to plead with God in behalf of the Istraelites we get two more beautiful pictures of Christ.

In this passage, the Lord declares that He will not go with the Israelites to the Promised Land. He would still provide the blessings of the land and all the would need to possess it, but because of their great sin the must go alone. In seeing the Israelites' response to the possibility, it ought to teach us much about the blessing and privilege of God's presence that all believers possess.

As Moses called for all those who were for the Lord to come to his side, the Levites were the only ones to show that they were on the Lord's side. By looking at the actions of the Levites and Moses we can see characteristics or indicators of those who are truly on the Lord's side.

In this passage we have the description of Moses' confrontation of the sin of both the people of Israel and his brother Aaron. From this Brother Tracey looks at several valuable lessons for us in how to confront sin in others and how to rightly respond when we are the ones being confronted.

This passage is often used by some to argue that God changes His mind just as any man would change his mind. However, upon a deeper look one can see that God's intention all along was th have mercy on His people and relent form His wrath through the means of an intercessor.
